|
Sing high, sing cold. |
|
A carrion crow sat upon a dead oak. |
|
Sing high, sing cold. It sang about an arrow's mark and terrible woe. |
|
A man took offense to the song so bitter and cold. |
|
"Don't you know that I walk upon the highest road?" |
|
Go fetch me my old bent bow. |
|
So I may shoot you, carrion crow. |
|
Sing high, sing cold. |
|
The man took aim with his old bent bow. |
|
Beneath my feet you shall go, carrion crow. |
|
The man shot and missed his mark. |
|
Shot his own wife through the heart. |
|
Carrion crow sat upon dead oak. |
|
Singing high, singing cold. |
|
Beneath my feet you may go, |
|
and soon you won't walk alone. |
|
You won't walk alone. |
|
Beneath my feet you may go, |
|
and soon you won't walk alone. |
|
The bells did ring, the bells did toll |
